Janellie's Kitchen

"Janellie’s Kitchen is differentiating itself from the abundance of Puerto Rican restaurants in the historic Humboldt Park neighborhood. And they're doing it with jibarito sliders. The perfectly handheld bites come three per order, and are filled with your choice of steak, lechón, chicken, or veggies. They have lots of other dishes, too including a pizza burger, alcapurrias, or a stuffed fritter, and ample dining space for the perfect opportunity to people watch. There’s a full bar with a variety of rum, and a beautiful floor-length mural of Puerto Rico on the wall." - jessica rome
